[Rotary] In Memoriam

[Donna Schuler]

We loved Wilma and her presence will be greatly missed. Thank you for being
such a good friend, and giving her the care and support she needed. I know
this is a sad news for many in our community, but it sounds like she had
the most supportive and peaceful passing a person can have.
